Quick answer
Yes, the Puffer Alfresco Cover is fully waterproof and built for outdoor use, but it is designed for specific Dazy Dog mats and not as a standalone bed.
What makes it waterproof?
The Alfresco Cover is made from furniture-grade material that is fully waterproof, meaning it can handle rain, mud, and wet paws without soaking through to the mat underneath. It's designed to be wiped clean, so a quick rinse or wipe-down after a muddy outing is all it needs.
Where it falls short
The cover is not a complete bed—it's a protective shell that fits over a compatible Dazy Dog mat (Crate Mat, Orthopaedic Mattress, or Alfresco Bed). If you need a standalone outdoor bed, this cover alone won't work. Also, while it's waterproof, it doesn't provide insulation or cushioning on its own.
Diagnosis: Is the Alfresco Cover right for you?
- Symptom: Your dog's bed gets soaked when left outside, or you want a cover that can handle wet paws and mud without absorbing moisture.
- Likely cause: You are using a standard fabric cover that isn't waterproof, or you don't have a cover at all, leaving the mat exposed to the elements.
- Corrective action: Get the Puffer Alfresco Cover in Alfresco Blue. Place it over your compatible Dazy Dog mat. After use, wipe it clean with a damp cloth or hose it down. It will keep the mat dry and clean. Make sure your mat is one of the compatible models (Crate Mat, Orthopaedic Mattress, or Alfresco Bed).
- When to stop or choose another option: If you need a complete outdoor bed with built-in cushioning and waterproofing, this cover alone won't work. Look for a standalone outdoor dog bed instead. Also, if you want a cover for a non-Dazy Dog mat, this won't fit.
